This initiative, titled "Fire and Rescue Services Data Platform PIN Notice," falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. The event aims to gather market feedback on the provision of Cloud Hosting, Infrastructure Software Support, Helpdesk Services, Application Software Support, System Support, Continuous Improvement, and Change Management Services. Interested suppliers must register their interest by 12 Noon on 30 January 2025, via the techUK link provided. Furthermore, the procurement process is in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 16 June 2025. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT and data management services to collaborate with a major government department. Contracting for the FaRDaP project could pave the way for long-term partnerships and substantial business growth, especially for firms experienced in cloud hosting, system support, and continuous improvement services. Given the scope and scale of the project, companies with established expertise in national data platforms, software development, and support are well-positioned to compete effectively. Participating in this EME event also allows businesses to influence the market approach and prepare for any subsequent formal procurement processes initiated by the Home Office. ## Notice This PIN is being released for prior information only by the Home Office ("the Authority") to notify the market of its intention to hold an open early market engagement event to seek views and feedback from the market in relation to the provision of Cloud Hosting and Infrastructure Software Support, Helpdesk Services, Application Software Support, System Support, Continuous Improvement and Change Management Services for the new national Fire and Rescue Data Platform ("FaRDaP") (formerly the Incident Reporting System), and to understand the level of competition, capability and capacity within the market to deliver these core service requirements. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Home Office has identified a need for the following provisions: Cloud Hosting and Infrastructure Software Support, Helpdesk Services, Application Software Support, System Support, Continuous Improvement and Change Management Services for the new national Fire and Rescue Data Platform ("FaRDaP") (formerly the Incident Reporting System). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041219-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Jun 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72212211 - Platform interconnectivity software development services - 72212517 - IT software development services - 72300000 - Data services - 72315000 - Data network management and support services - 72317000 - Data storage services - 72400000 - Internet services - 72416000 - Application service providers - 72421000 - Internet or intranet client application development services - 72422000 - Internet or intranet server application development services ## Release History - 20 Dec 2024 at 14:03 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041219-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com - https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com - https://www.techuk.org - https://www.techuk.org/what-we-deliver/events/early-market-engagement-for-fire-and-rescue-services-data-platform.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
